Secretary General to Anglican Communion: "Please pray for Pakistan"

The Secretary General of the Anglican Communion has asked for Communion-wide prayer following the suicide attack on a church in Pakistan that left than 78 dead and more than 100 injured.

In a letter to the Anglican Communion's Primates--its most senior bishops--Canon Kenneth Kearon wrote, "Messages of condolences have been coming in from around the Communion, and I write to ask you to consider requesting your parishes and dioceses to remember in prayer those who died or were bereaved and those who were injured or live in fear because of the tragedy."

This call comes following an attack on All Saint's Church, Peshawar, that has been labelled the worst assault on the country's Christian minority in many years.
